The PowerVR Brazil SDK was used in
Caustic Visualizer, a real-time rendering plugin for Maya and SketchUp, and Neon, a viewport rendering plugin for Rhinoceros 3D. Caustic Visualizer for Maya and R2100/R2500 hardware were EOLed on June 13, 2014 and Caustic Visualizer for SketchUp was EOLed on March
